In winter, the Mongolian high is formed in the northern part of the Asian continent, and Jinan is controlled by the polar continental air mass and is often attacked by cold air from the north. The weather is cold and sunny, with less rain and snow and more northerly winds. In summer, influenced by tropical and subtropical ocean air masses, warm and humid air currents prevail in the ocean, with hot weather, abundant rainfall, abundant sunshine and southerly winds. Spring and autumn are the transitional seasons from winter to summer and from summer to winter, and the wind direction is changeable. In a year, Jinan is controlled by different atmospheric circulation in different seasons, which constitutes a distinct climate in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Summer is 105 ~ 120 days, generally from late May to early September; Spring and autumn are the shortest, less than two months. In addition, the terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides makes it difficult for water vapor and hot air to return and gather, which is more than the summer precipitation in general northern cities.
